The White Wolf store here these days continued to operate in a different atmosphere than usual.

Garnett, the store's best old stock clerk, returned home, and the day after that... no, I wonder if that was the next morning again... anyway, soon, the manager, Luke, also went to Wang Du on a sudden business trip.

The reason for the trip was with the deal entanglement with the Sundial Chamber of Commerce, but from that rush, there may have been other circumstances.

Anyway, the head office staff has essentially turned the store around with just four people these days.

First of all, myself, Erica on Walnut Street.

And Noir, the black wizard, and Alexia, the adventurer and mechanical engineer.

A total of four at Layla, who was just hired last time.

Yeah, it's just girls by the time they're brilliant.

This member alone can normally be open.

Even I learned my job properly.

But this makes it difficult to put in a day off, and since it is difficult when, I am going to borrow one from the branch.

When you're still short on manpower, hire an adventurer to deal with it.

I appreciate that our store manager is the type to spare no expense like this.

- Like that, the White Wolf store in the absence of the manager was still working relaxed today.

"Mr. Alexia, we're up for a break"

"Mm, roger. Then can you come in to the accounting counter? I'll be taking a break next, so help Erica out at the cashier's."

"Yes."

Alexia, who was waiting for a guest next to me, pulls into the back in exchange for a backup kid from the branch.

Branch staff have a half gender ratio, but the support they send is basically just same-sex.

Maybe, but I think Natalia, the branch manager, has decided on a candidate with consideration.

I don't know if you care about us, or if you're hesitant to send a new boy to the head office where he's turned into a woman's belt, though.

"Hey, Mr. Erica. When I heard the manager and the veteran were going to be gone at once, I thought this might be a little uneasy, but surprisingly, we can handle it."

"Right. When we first started out, we were spinning, and we could show them around."

I'll take a whisper with the kid from the branch and look through the store from the accounting counter.

The more customers I have today, the better. Not too much, not too little. Moderate businessness.

Before we could have a branch in the dungeon, we had too many visitors and it was stuffed with cucumbers, but now that we have an adventurer customer who challenges the back of the dungeon going to the branch, the burden on the head office also fits in just fine.

There are two staff members working outside the counter.

The first is Mr. Noir, who checks inventory.

Except for Manager Luke, she is the biggest grown woman in the store (one), quiet, stylish, and has a lot of knowledge of herbs and magic.

Long stretched black hair is elegantly wavy, and my fluffy hair is nothing like this one.

And the other one......

"It's a surprise... you should be aware that the status quo is close to crossing."

Leila, one of a large number of employees hired for the branch, who asked her to turn to ground work to reduce the burden on the head office.

I have rare red eyes on my beautifully groomed short dark hair and a pretty eye-catching look, but I've had a serious and uncomfortable air from time to time, and I still haven't figured it out very well.

No, no, it doesn't mean we don't like each other or anything.

We work together properly at work, and we shouldn't be distancing ourselves from each other.

Rather, Leila's first job is senior shapeless or something.

"There is a possibility that you will be missing one or two more people from the current situation, so you should be prepared when you have to."

"That's right, but if we talk about it, it'll happen the other way around, or something like that?

"Jinx is of unbelievable quality."

Shortly after Layla said so, the front door of the store opened up vigorously and an adventurer rushed in looking in a hurry.

"Excuse me! Is there a black wizard!

"What...? Oh, my...?

Mr. Noir responds to the adventurer with a puzzled face.

There are several wizards in this town, including adventurers, but when it comes to professional black wizards, it's just Mr. Noir.

"There's a curse hanging on the magic item I dug in the basement, and my people are in big trouble! Could you help me de-curse it!

"So, but for sure... guild, branch... curser, but..."

"I've already had a look at it, but it's hard for me to do it alone, so call for backup...! Please!

Mr. Noir is quite lost and has turned to us for his opinion, but we have no choice because the situation is one.

The store told us that it would be all right to leave it to us, and we decided to ask Mr. Noir to go and support the curse.

"... you see, I knew it"

"What is it, what is it? You didn't have to tell me."

That's right, but it's a matter of what feelings.

"For once, there's still four of us left, and there's Mr. Alexia, so you'll be fine."

"Aren't you a better veteran than Mr. Alexia?

"Ugh...... But it only changes a little bit, and life experience is up there, so come on... you can count on it."

Sure, if you just look at how long I've been working at the White Wolf store, I'm just a little longer than Mr. Alexia.

But Alexia has been independent as an adventurer and a mechanical engineer for a long time, so she has more experience than I have recently finally left her hometown.

When Mr. Alexia gets up from the break, let me report that Mr. Noir has gone to the Guild Branch and entrust him with the role of acting manager.

Blurring about such convenience, now the muscular, tall adventurer came into the store reluctantly.

Other adventurers who were looking for products in the store stifle their bodies with surprise and tension the moment they saw the person.

Sure enough, that guy was a friend of manager Luke's and highly-ranked adventurer... his name must have been Travis or something.

"Eh. Mr. Travis, what's wrong?

"I have a sudden favor to ask... is Alexia the mechanic not here?

Good, the name was right.

But why are you calling Mr. Alexia?

Or I wish I hadn't stood in front of the front door and come this way.

"Mr. Alexia would be taking a break. Wait a minute, please. Look, call it in."

"Huh."

I'll let the kid at the branch go get Mr. Alexia, and just me and Leila will continue the counter business.

I looked next to her and thought... Leila looked at Travis with a blurry look as if she were a maiden in love, where the robust atmosphere was going.

Oh, no. This. He's useless.

I turn to Leila's familiarity with whether she had this side of it, and the certainty that that hand's taste doesn't match her at all, and the plea to seriously stop being obsessed with you right now.

Soon afterwards, Mr. Alexia came back to the store after being pulled by the kid from the branch.

"What is a call to me? You're not saying the supply lift you just fixed yesterday was crazy again."

"No, there's no problem over there. Actually, there's a problem with Unit Two."

"Yeah!? Isn't that a big problem! Why are you so calm!

The grumpy feeling from Mr. Alexia can disappear in an instant.

And when I caught the big toolbox behind the counter, I jumped out of the store at full speed.

"Sorry Erica! I asked for the store!

"Sorry, I'm going to borrow Alexia! Can I take care of this crime scene?!?

"Ha! I'll take care of it!

It was Leila, not me, who replied well.

It's a good thing you were so full of motivation, and I had to respond the same way anyway... is this situation really going to be okay?

The staff is over with me, Leila and the kid from the branch.

No, no, no, you can't do this. If trouble jumps in again, we'll be on the other side of the cliff.

"Oh, uh! Anyway, call for backup! Alliance House...... is someone with open hands...... a branch of 'The Day and Clock Forest' or our branch...... Anyway, ask Hollow Bottom for backup!

"Wow, I get it!

I ask the kid in the branch for backup and send him out, and just me and Leila decide to turn the store around for a while - please, pray that no trouble comes.
